Revolutionary Crypto ETPs and the Evolving Digital Asset Landscape

The crypto market is undergoing a seismic shift as institutional investors and retail traders alike seek regulated, liquid, and diversified exposure to digital assets. At the forefront of this transformation is Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, which has launched 13 new cryptocurrency Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) on Sweden's Spotlight Stock Market in September 2025. These ETPs, including tokens like PEPE, FLR, and OP, are not just expanding the universe of digital asset investments—they are redefining how institutional capital flows into the crypto space.

Valour's Expansion: A Game-Changer for Institutional Access

Valour's latest offerings, now totaling 99 ETPs globally, provide a regulated pathway for investors to access niche and emerging blockchain projects without the complexities of direct crypto ownership. For instance, the PEPE ETP allows investors to gain exposure to the meme token ecosystem through a traditional brokerage account, while tokens like Optimism (OP) and IOTA (IOTA) bridge institutional capital to Layer 2 scaling solutions and IoT infrastructureValour Launches Thirteen New ETPs on Spotlight Stock Market, Reaches 99 Listed ETPs and Further Bolsters the Largest Digital Asset ETP Selection Globally^[1].

Liquidity and Compliance: The Twin Pillars of Trust

One of the most significant challenges in crypto investing has been liquidity—until now. Valour's ETPs are designed to address this by operating within traditional market rails. For example, the recent launch of the first physically backed Bitcoin staking ETP on the London Stock Exchange (1VBS) offers institutional investors a yield of approximately 1.4% while adhering to MiFID II standardsLondon Stock Exchange Debuts First Bitcoin Staking ETP with Core DAO Technology^[2]. This product, available exclusively to professional investors, underscores Valour's ability to innovate within regulatory frameworks.

The company's compliance framework is particularly noteworthy. While the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) imposes strict rules on crypto service providers, Valour's ETPs are structured as transferable securities, exempting them from direct MiCA oversightValour Launches Thirteen New ETPs on Spotlight Stock Market, Reaches 99 Listed ETPs and Further Bolsters the Largest Digital Asset ETP Selection Globally^[1].
